"Stop Asking Your Friends What to Text Her"

Your buddy Dave has been single for three years and thinks "hey u up" is a valid strategy. Your other buddy Mike just got dumped and told you to "just be yourself."

You showed them her text. You asked them to decode the emoji. You drafted four responses and sent the screenshot to the group chat for a vote.

She's been waiting forty minutes.

Put the phone down. Stop crowdsourcing your love life. Type something that sounds like you. Hit send. Then go do literally anything else with your evening.

I accidentally posted this in the DJ board, but it belongs here


Basically these guys were *******s to me last year (I'm a sophmore) and even though they pretended we were friends, they never invited me to parties with them and made a point to exclude me from them, despite the fact that I always had them over and they used me for random shyt. Well, I decided to man up and talk back to them.

In the social hierarchy, they're lower than me in high school, they play a lot of videogames and say really gay things in real life like "ownage, pwnage, epic fail" that make them out to be total douchebags. back last year I had trouble fitting in so I went with these guys and they treated me like shyt. Now I'm in a much better social position than them and I figured now would be the time to just mess with them. Basically, I slowly stopped hanging out with them and not talking to them, to the point where I wouldn't even say hi to them in the hallways. Then, me and my other friend decided to just be pricks to them and we talked **** to them and acted like douchebags to them.

Now I know two rights dont make a wrong, and I dont give a shyt if these guys start trying to start shyt, I'll fight them if need be. But soem of these guys are friends with my friends and I'm worried that they'll try and turn them against me and just start spreading rumors about me (wouldnt be the first time), how exactly should I handle this? in additon, im wondering how i should handle it in the hallway, should I be a complete douche and just be like 'oh hey hows it going" in a really smart ass attitude or should I completely blow them off with a smirk like nothing happened?

It feels good to finally get back at the people hwo were belittling me, but how can I remain effective at doing it?
 

"I just moved here from Florida."

That sentence contains at least five follow-up questions she WANTS you to ask. Where in Florida? What brought you here? How long have you been in the area? What do you miss? How does it compare to here?

She handed them to you on a silver platter. And you said, "Oh cool. I come here every week. I love this band. Ummm... pretty crowded tonight."

She smiled politely. Nodded. And never texted you back.

I was that guy for years. Talking too much. Listening too little. Panicking about my next sentence while she was literally feeding me the answers.

Then I found 22 rules that fixed the whole thing. Rule number one: shut up and listen. She'll tell you exactly what to say.

This is needless drama. If you really don't care, like you say you do, then you wouldn't react and blow this way out of proportion.

So some people don't like you. That's their problem, not yours. Haters are gonna hate, and the DJ doesn't care.

^Exactly. And, as you say you are much better than them now, just this must be pissing them off right now.

How about you stop being a chick about it and move on like a MAN! Geez, you kids nowadays. Real men don't do this. Move on, their loss, not yours. Rumors don't mean $hit. Let them be sissy rumor telling idiots, and then go bang a bunch of chicks and make new friends. Btw...fyi, just cause they play games and quote dumb things like pwnage doesn't make them lower than you...what makes them lower is the way they treat you.

Dude fvcking get over it. Guys should not even be on your radar. Why do u even care for them let them be, ignore forget them.
 

"So, What Do You Do for Fun?"

She asks it casually, mid-sip. And you feel the floor open up, because the honest answer is work, gym, and a couple shows you're half-watching.

Women rarely say this out loud, but a man with a life is attractive before he says a word. The guy who spent Saturday deep-sea fishing and came back with photos and a story — he walks in already interesting.

The "22 Rules" pushed me to build a life worth talking about. Turns out the fastest way to be interesting to women is to be interested in your own life first.

Hey Man, I am in the EXACT same situation as you. It's uncanny really. These guys walked all over me even though they were total *******s who played video games all day and never had a girlfriend in their lives. These types of people are really common. I had a party the other day and purposely didn't invite them yet somehow they found out and just invited themselves along, bringing with them a couple more guests who I'd never seen before and pretty much ruined half the night for everyone.

I KNOW I'm better than people like this, and it sounds like you know you're better than these kinds of people too. All I can say is SHOW IT! But don't yell at them or punch them in the face (no matter how much you want to) just ignore them. I know it sounds cliche and stupid but there's a reason people say that.

When someone does something like this to me I think "Well, you've just lost some of my respect", and focus more on my REAL friends. If they don't treat you like a friend, then don't treat them like friends. But never treat them like any less than strangers - that's their level. That's an AFC level.
